Fireproof

One month ago I wrote about how God helped me overcome another storm in our married life. By his love and grace I was able to forgive my husband. I’m thankful that God always have something for me, it’s always at that right time. During the time that I almost gave up on our marriage a radio program aanounces they will be having a seminar and film showing for married couples. I decided to ask my husband to join me, he didn’t like it but I insisted so with a heavy heart he accompanied me.

We watched the film entitled Fireproof, a love story about a firefighter and his wife. The wife, Catherine thinks that divorce is the only answer for them since his husband Caleb a fire chief, can save everything but their marriage. But thru Caleb’s parents help and a challenge from a book called “The Love Dare” brought Caleb to his knees. Caleb valiantly fights to reignite the flame of passion  to win back Catherine and restore their marriage. It was heart-warming, a very good movie.

Aside from the movie, we we’re inspired by the speaker’s message, it was an eye-opening. I’m thankful God  lead us to attend that seminar because if not, our married life could be in misery right now.

Christian books

If money is available i would like to buy and collect lots of books especially christian books. Right now i have 4 christian books, 3 of them were given by friends. I bought the book Good Morning Holy Spirit by Pastor Benny Hinn when i was recovering from multiple surgeries. Since i cannot walk or do anything at that time, reading christian books became my past time. It helped me a lot, the inspirational stories and messages was my source of strength and motivation aside from my family and loved ones.

Now i’m eyeing to buy  the book The Five Love  Languages by Gary Chapman, i heard about this book over a radio counseling program. This book is about how married couples will deal with their unmet needs because of difference in communication styles. The Five Love Languages identifies and explains five unique communication methods – Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. It encourages couples to learn how to speak love in their spouse’s primary love language, not their own. “Love is something you do for someone else, not yourself,” Chapman says.
